PROSPECTUS . THE SOT-SOIL & COTTAGE IMPROVEMENT COMPANY ( Limited ) . ( Incorporated under iy and 20 Viet . cap . 17 . ) Capital 40 , 000 ? . In Shares of 17 . each ; deposit , -is . per share . Liability limited to amount of share . DIEECTOltS . Rupert Clarke , Esq ., Reading , Coroner of the County of Stephen ^ Prescotfc , Esq ., Walwortu and Ringwoald , near Deal , Kent . . . Daniel Green . Esq ., 11 . Pinsbury-circus . "Walter Newall , Esq ., Clapham . ( With power to add to their number . ) Two seats at the Board will be reserved for election from the shareholders at the First General Meeting . AUDITORS . George Daniel , Esq ., IS , Canonbtiry-Sfmare . Henry William Sewell , Esq ., Stoko Newington . Manages—Edward Wilkins , Esq-Bakkees—Union Bank of London . Offices- Great Scotland Yard , "Whitehall . The advantages attending the employment of capital in the improvement of land are justly acknowledged ; capital thus emploved is , at the same time , the means of great social benefit , and productive to the investors of the highest rate consistent with perfect security . . Opportunities , however , for employing , individually , the smaller amounts of capital in this channel are necessarily limited . This advantage the present association will supply . The object proposed is as follows , viz .:--The working of a plan for increasing with certainty the produce of the soil , and by such nieans to bring into cultivation and render profitable lands hitherto entirely uupro-The value of the plan of sub-soil maniirage , invented by Mr . ¦ Wilkins , has been fully tested , and it is especially applicable to the poorest lands . By the carrying out of this system Nature ' s own increase may , in many cases , be rendered twofold , and the crops , in a great degree , guarded against loss from , the uncertainties of season and of temperature , whilst large annual crops may be taken from land now considered worthless . _ „ , ~ ,, * . Results already obtained form a basis of the fullest comidence for the project now brought forward . The present company propose to car ry out the plan , on an extended scale , for the growth ( chiefly ) , of flax and hemp . Mangold Wurzel , and potatoes , being crops specially suited to this cultivation , and of an assured demand . The former of these are crops of a very remunerative character , arid of a great national importance . Farmers , however , are not iuduced to cultivate them , as they tend too much to impoverish the soil . Grown on the present principle , the soil is in no wise impoverished , and they can "be produced year after year on the same land with uufail ing success . Mr . Wilkins has even hail two crops of flax in one year . For any quantity cultivated an immediate and certain market is open . The Mangold Wurzel on this principle is a perfectly superior root to the ordinary mangold . Prom it the patentee has produced an excellent WINE , which can be sold at the rate of Two Shillings per gallon , and leave a net profit of over thirty per cent . Also ( in mixturo with npur ) a wholesome and nutritious Bread , at ono third less than the usual price . Neither of these important purposes can the ordinary mangold suffice . His weight of this crop has reached the unprecedented amoun t of sixty-nine tons per acre . Of the last mentioned ( potatoes ) little need be said . They would be produced in greater weight , with almost certain immunity from disease ; and ( by means of Mr . "Wilkios's patent process for extracting the germs for planting ) of a largo and uniform size . Note This patent has been purchased , independently , by the directors , and is the property of the company . It is submitted that certain and assured returns of a very remunerative character may thus be realised on the capital of the company . The operations of the company will bo as follow , viz .: 1 st . The purchase or leasing , at a low rate , of land adapted to their purpose ; , ' , , . . . , 2 nd . The preparation of such land on their system or drainage , whereby it will bo rendered highly jproductive ; 3 rd , Tho cultivation—or the resale at enhanced prices—of the land thus prepared . Thus tho advantage of a combination of capital and resources in such an enterprise is obvious ; and after making a careful allowance for all contingencies and expenses , it is estimated a net profit of twenty to twenty-five per cent . may be realised . . , The directors have selocted , and obtained tho offer on very advantageous terms , of » plot of 600 ooros of land well suited to this purpose , and which could be laid down at the minimum price . On two-thirds of the shares being takpn up , the contract will bo completed , and operations on the flr » t portion at once , commenced . ... A . further Adaptation of the same principles to the construction of Vine Boxes and Flower Vases haa also been patented . Those patonts also uro vested in tho company , and tho eminent success which has attended tho manufacture and trial of these articles affords furthor warrant forconfldonco in success on the larger scale . The Directors can sbato that this branch of tho business is already organised , and first-class agencies appointed In various parts of the country ( England , Scotland , and lireland ) . Every preliminary expense has boon paid , and eon * slderablo orders , both for home and export , are obtained . Theso articles are calculated to command a largo aud very remunerative sale , aud will realise a haudaomo profit to tho shareholders . Improved Model Cottages will bq built upon tho company's property in connexion with allotments of land . This obtains a fair and oortnin intorost for such capital , and would prove of incalculable social advantage to tho tenants . . DANIEL GRBBN , Jan ., FA . A ,, Secretary . Docomber Btu , 1858 .
